Ronald Reagan

"There is a fundamental difference between separation of church and state and denying the spiritual heritage of this country.

Ronald Reagan Politician, Actor

"We must never remain silent in the face of bigotry. We must condemn those who seek to divide us. In all quarters and at all times, we must teach tolerance and denounce racism, anti-Semitism and all ethnic or religious bigotry wherever they exist as unacceptable evils. We have no place for haters in America -- none, whatsoever."

Ronald Reagan Politician, Actor

The problem is not that people are taxed too little, the problem is that government spends too much."
